IMPROVEMENT In PUMPS,

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that L'HmAM PARKS, of Athens, in the county of Greene, and State of New York, have invented anew and usefullmprovement in lumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of'this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved pump.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same, showing a modified manner of-arranging the parts. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to the apparatus for operating pumps, which is such, that a. pump can he worked at a distance of half a mile or more when desired. On farms it is often impossible to have a pump close to the house or to a particular spot 'on the fields, and it would often require a pump of great strength to pump the water from a cistern or .well -to a certain place distant from the well, if the pump were arranged where the water is needed, having a pipe that reaches into the well. Furthermore. it would require three or'more pumps where water is required during the day.

tozhave facilities for carrying the waterz=from one well 'to' three. or more particular places. According to my plsuonly one pump is'used, which is placddnt'o the well, which pump need only be as long as the stroke of the piston, and from which pipes may be laid to the house, barn, and field, in fact, to any part'in the vicinity A represents a pump of usual or suitable construction. The piston-rod B of this pump is attached, at its.

upper end, to an elbow-iron or hell-crank C, which is connected by a horizontal wire or other rod, D, with an oscillating lever, E, as shown in fig. 1. It will be seen that by using a number of such bell-cranks O, and rods D, as shown in fig. 2, corners can be turned, or the motion carried up or down hills, &c., as may be desired. Any number of pipes F may be carried from the pump to any desired place, and be provided with faucets, G, so that the water can be pumped to any one desired place, When the rods D and B are made of wire it will require the use of a sinkeror weight, H, tobe attached to the piston-rod, forcarrying the piston do wn again; but by having a piston-rod of bar iron, and by using two sets of wires, D, one alongside of the other, and connected to the opposite ends of the lever E, the pump may be used without a sinker or weight. The lever E maybe pivoted to suspended arms, or to any other suitable device, and can be made of suitable material.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arrangement of the pump A, sinker H, piston-rod B, crank or elbowpieces C G, wires or rods D, and

lever E, as herein described, operating as and fortho purpose specified.
